"transfer rate of any data channel”.
The sum of the individual bit transfer rates of all the "other peripheral devices”, excluding "terminal devices”, which can be sustained simultaneously on the data channel.
"user-accessible microprogrammability"-
The facility allowing a user to insert, modify or replace "microprogrammes”. "user-accessible programmability".....
The facility allowing a user to insert, modify or replace "programmes" by means other than:
(a) A physical change in wiring in interconnections; or
(b) The setting of function controls including entry of parameters.
"virtual storage”-
The storage space that may be regarded as addressable "main storage” by the user of a computer system in which virtual addresses are mapped into real addresses.
NB:
The size of "virtual storage" is limited by the addressing scheme of the computer system and not by the actual number of "main storage” locations.
"wide area network”
A data communication system which:
(a) Allows an arbitrary number of independent "data devices” to communicate with each other;
(b) May include "local area networks; and
(c) Is designed to interconnect geographically dispersed facilities.
"Software" and technology therefor, as follows-
Note:
The embargo status of specially designed "software" for the use of equipment described in other Items in these Lists (except Item IL1565) is dealt with in the appropriate Item, and the embargo status of "software" for equipment described in Item IL1565 is dealt with in the present Item.
Technical Notes:
1. "Software" is defined as follows:
"software"-
A collection of one or more "programmes" or "microprogrammes" fixed in any tangible medium of expression.
"programme"-
A sequence of instructions to carry out a process in, or convertible into, a form executable by an electronic computer.
"microprogramme"
A sequence of elementary instructions, maintained in a special storage, the execution of which is initiated by the introduction of its reference instruction into an instruction register.
2. "Software" is categorized as follows (there is a close relationship and possible overlap among these categories):
"development system”-
"Software" to develop or produce "software". This includes "software" to manage those activities. Examples of a “development system” are programming support environments, software development environments, and programmer-productivity aids.
"programming system"
"Software" to convert a convenient expression of one or more processes (source code' or 'source language') into equipment executable form ("object code' or 'object language').
